8. FUNCTION SETTINGS

8.1. Speaker Restriction Function

8.1.1. Setting procedure

Using the TS-770 Central Unit's speaker restriction switch, set the number of simultaneously-usable delegate

units (TS-772). Set the switch to 0, 1, 3, or 6 depending on the type of conference.

Delegate units cannot speak if the number is set to "0." (Chairman Priority mode)

TS-770 Central Unit

(Factory default: 6)

CENTRAL UNIT TS-770

Note

When multiple Central units are connected, different settings cannot be applied for each unit. If settings differ

among these Central units, only the setting of the unit with its Expansion switch set to MAIN takes effect.

8.1.2. Restricted number of simultaneously operable Delegate units and each conference unit's operation

Shown below is the relationship between the Speaker Restriction function and each conference unit's speech

capability.

[Chairman unit]

Chairman units can speak at any time regardless of the setting of the Speaker Restriction function.

[Delegate unit]

Up to the set number of Delegate units can speak simultaneously.

When the full set number of Delegate units are in use (their microphones have been turned on), no

microphones of other Delegate units can be turned on, even if their Talk keys are pressed.

[Remote Delegate Interface unit]

Speech capability differs depending on the Auto/Manual selector switch setting.

• Auto position: A remote party can speak regardless of the setting of the Speaker Restriction function,

provided another conference unit is not currently in use.

• Manual position: The Remote Delegate Interface unit is also recognized as one of the Delegate units. Up to

the set number of Delegate units, inclusive of the Remote Delegate Interface unit, can be

simultaneously used.

8.2. Automatic Mic-Off Function

Using the Automatic mic-off setting switch of the TS-770 Central Unit, the automatic mic-off function can be

set. Whenever a break in speech exceeds a specified period of time, the Central unit presumes speech

completion and automatically turns off the microphone. Delegate unit's microphone turns off after the preset

period of time even if a speaker forgets to turn it off after use.

The break time can be set for either 20 (20s position) or 40 (40s position) seconds. Set the switch to OFF if

this function is unnecessary.

TS-770 Central Unit

Automatic mic-off setting switch

(Factory default: OFF)

CENTRAL UNIT TS-770

8.3 All Mic-On Function

It is possible to turn on the microphones of all connected conference units by setting the Central unit's All Mic-

On switch to ON. In this event, no sound is output from Chairman and Delegate unit's internal speakers,

however audio signals are output from their Recording/Headphone Output terminals.

All conference units can speak at any time without requiring Talk key operation, regardless of the Speaker

Restriction function setting. The All Mic-On function is especially useful when wishing to record small

conferences or broadcast conference contents to other areas.

Note

When the All Mic-On function is enabled and it is desirable to have a remote party speak by way of the

Remote Delegate Interface unit, be sure to set the unit's Auto/Manual Selector switch to MANUAL. The party

cannot speak if the switch is set to AUTO.

TS-770 Central Unit

All Mic-On switch (Factory preset: OFF)

CENTRAL UNIT TS-770

Notes

• When the automatic mic-off function is selected, any break in speech exceeding the preset time during

speech will automatically turn off the microphone. Therefore, for conferences in which long breaks in speech

are expected, set the automatic mic-off setting switch to the OFF position.

• In areas with high levels of background noise, the Central unit may mistake the noise to be speech and the

automatic mic-off function will not operate correctly. In such cases, this function should be disabled by

placing the switch in the OFF position.

• In the system employing 2 or 3 Central units, it is not possible to operate the units with each different setting.

Perform the same setting for all connected Central units.

9. RECORDING

The contents of the conference can be recorded by connecting an Alternate Cassette Recorder or other

recording equipment to the TS-770 Central Unit, TS-771 Chairman Unit, or TS-772 Delegate Unit.

9.1. Recording with the Central Unit

Step 1. Connect the recording output on the rear panel of the TS-770 Central Unit to the recorder's recording

input.

There are 2 types of recording output terminals: one is of a phone jack and the other is of RCA jacks.

Step 2. Connect a set of headphones into the recorder's monitor output to confirm that the contents of the

conference are being recorded correctly.

If the recording device is equipped with a recording level control, adjust it to an appropriate recording

level.

For use of recording device, refer to the instruction manual supplied with the device.

9.2. Recording with the Chairman Unit or Delegate Unit

Using the Recording/Headphone Output terminals on the side panel, recordings can be made in the same

manner used for the Central unit.

Notes

• If either of Recording/Headphone jacks 1 and 2 is used, no sound is output from the unit's speaker.

• Sound volume from the recording output of the Chairman and Delegate units can be adjusted using the

Central unit's Line Volume control. Setting the line volume control to the minimum position makes it

impossible to record from the recording output of the Chairman and Delegate units. When wishing to record

conference contents without amplifying the sound output from the Chairman and Delegate unit speakers,

use the Central unit's Recording Output terminals.
